genome-guided introspection

Really enjoyed reading Stretch by Neal Pollack

Really enjoyed reading Stretch – The Unlikely making of a Yoga Dude by Neal Pollack! He’s so honest and blunt about his extensive journeys through yoga practices, workshops, conventions, that – as a guy and newbie to yoga – it was hard to put the book down. Over and over again in the book, he skewers the phony “open your heart to the possibilities of the universe” and “feel good” culture of western commercial yoga inc., and finally comes to resonate and find inner-peace in the deeper guidance of Richard Freeman and in-depth analysis of the ancient yoga texts. Drug-use, fart and sexist humor aside, I learned A LOT about yoga!

Oooh! The Accidental Buddhist… I want to read that, too (along with Stretch)! Want to start an online yoga book club?? Or John, you can come up to Maine (with some other Alluem yoga family members) and come to our Yoga Book Club meetings!! What do ya say?? Leslie, you in?
